New York Post:

Michael Jackson's baby mama Debbie Rowe has sold her kids again -- this time squeezing about $4 million from her former mother-in-law in exchange for giving up her parental rights, a family source told The Post yesterday.

"It's one final payday," the disgusted Jackson confidant said.

It's official! She's loathsome!

[Steamboater]

So Rowe got millions. Everyone all-around from the Jacksons to MJ all paid to play. This gets very tiring about all of them.

[julesbh]

Exactly, everyone is benefiting from MJ's death, except his children.

Hmmm, that was fast...

E-mails Reveal Debbie Rowe
Never Wanted Custody
July 14th, 2009 / Author: Chris Morran

http://www.okmagazine.com/2009/07/e-mails-reveal-debbie-rowe-never-wanted-custody/

A friend of Michael Jackson’s babymama Debbie Rowe has come forward with revealing e-mails that make it clear that Rowe has no interest in actually getting custody of the two children she had with the King of Pop.

In an interview to air tonight on Extra Debbie Rowe’s friend and confidant, Rebecca White, reveals details from e-mails from Rowe sent days after Michael’s tragic death.

In an email dated July 2, 2009, she writes:

“I’m not going after custody. These kids are not mine. They were never mine. They were always Michael’s. I was Michael’s best friend.”

July 5, Rowe writes

“My lawyer is telling me I have to take some responsibility about the welfare of the children. Do I want the kids? Hell no. Does it look good for me to ask for them? Absolutely. I don’t want to look like the woman who gave away her kids and just forgot about them. Would Michael want Joe to have them? I think it would be the last thing that he would ever have wanted.”

“In one text message [Debbie] had just said, ‘Just wait until the 14th. Everything will be done after the 14th’…There’s definitely going to be a secret deal. There’s definitely going to be a settlement that’s going to come out of this.”

This woman is a piece of work!

[maware234]

lol... if this is true, I love how her "friend and confidant" is selling her out. Money really is the root of all evil.

[Dewtrell]

Seriously... I can't imagine any of my friends doing something like this to me. However, I guess money talks.

[sexyrexy]

yeah. she's got a lot of 'good' friends coming out of the woodwork to 'speak' for her-- what a 'great' lady she is--& soooo misunderstood..
of course, they'd say that.. as they are ALL haggling for the pay off!

whose kidding who here??! they are all being so clever-- they are all so transparent!

[justoverit333]

She previously got paid for carrying the babies.
Then she gets paid again to not fight custody.
But she already agreed previously not to fight
for custody. unreal.

No surprise. How is an 80 yr. old grandmother going to raise these kids though? The hired help will. I wouldn't want their deranged grandfather, Joe, near them.

[Sylmason]

Do you know the Jackson's dear? A millionaore 80-year-old grandmother with very healthy and young children can do more than your young broke a%#. The real truth is their auntie Janet will raise them. The grandmother is securing their future as Jackson's in order for the Debbie Rowe like folks people not to come near them. Is your last name Rowe?

[viewfromuphere]

and you have insight into Mrs. Jackson health...sorry.....the you don't the Jacksons argument cuts both ways...80 is elderly by any measure and there's no use complaining about it.

that said....there is certainly enough other family for those kids should it be necessary...

except for the Joe guy..... i kind of think the kids would be better if he didn't have a say in their career choices..

[lee4]

Is your last name Jackson, dear?

[Cherubim]

I understand that Rebbie Jackson (Michael Jackson's oldest sister)
is already playing a significant role in carrying for the children.

[gladys46]

Hence, the attorney's statement that she had not "decided" ... while extortion negotiations were on-going ... I suppose the time consuming argument was ... how much !?

[ddDinah]

She really is a work of art, isn't she? What a LOWLIFE. Mrs Rowe could care less for Michael's children. I thought in the beginning of all this that she might have a shred of Motherly instint to protect the kids from Joe, but that was a proven pipe-dream since she said nothing about protecting the kids from Joe. My GOD it really is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY with the MONEY GRUBBING TART. Hillary wrote a book about the rearing of children entitled "IT TAKES A VILLAGE", and the with the Bush era came a book entitiled "IT TAKES A FAMILY", with the death of Michael comes his song "WE ARE THE WORLD, WE ARE THE CHILDREN", we love the Michael's kids and in sense they belong to the world.
NOTE TO JOE: KEEP YOU F'G HANDS OFF OUR CHILDREN...

As for the Jackson 5, reduk, I hope it goes well. We need to have something of Michael back.

[jalowe1957]

As always, money changes everything.

[Gmoney1]

her lawyer will get one third of the 4 mil -

[gladys46]

She'll be poor again real soon .. she's already poor in truth & spirit ! The children don't deserve this woman !

[DrJohnnySkeptic]

She's also poor in conscience. I hope the children are kept far away from this money grubbing fiend!

[RazeTemple]

Aww, so 4 mil is now the going rate for the combo package deal of dignity and children? Great values there, Deb. Glad to see you show your true colors so we can now go back to ignoring you and your 3 wolf moon shirts.

[Two Cents]

As a mother, I simply cannot fathom . . .

[gladys46]

That's because you are a "mother" ... me too !

[littlebrowngirl]

I can only imagine how hurt the kids feel that the woman who gave birth to them not only does not want them but her love can be bought every few years for a price.

very very sad.

A true loving parent would not take a dime in exchange for thier kids.

[Dewtrell]

Well, if this report is true from the NY Post, I can't say that I'm surprised! Debbie Rowe was always about money. Nobody should be shocked by this because she didn't want those children - she was a surrogate for MJ and that is it.

[corsair1917]

And bottom feeders appear... With people like this in his life, how could anyone question his mental state. Only liked for his money. LaToya is gettin' paid. Joe is gettin' paid. Debbie is gettin' paid. The former chef gettin' paid.... Selling their souls for some cash. People look at Michael and see only dollar signs. Never seen as a person just a money making machine for everyone else. Imagine living a life like that! No wonder he was miserable.

[gladys46]

Clearly ... I'm reminded of what Rev. Sharpton said ... in my words, Michael was not disturbed ... what he had to deal with was ... very disturbing !

This is Rowe's what 3rd ... 4th payment ... a surrogate usually takes the first payment as substantial as it was, and runs !

Hopefully, this payment will last for more than a year for her, but I doubt it .. nothing last that is so ill-gotten for too long !

Strenght to Katherine and those who really care about the children.

[Annette truth teller08]

Wait. Wouldn't she have gotten a fortune if she had of won custody of the children?

She must have some skeletons in her closet that would have prevented her from getting custody or knew she only had a small percent chance of winning.

Why else would she have settled for $4 million.

[sexyrexy]

she has oodles.. like SHE'S NOT THE BIO MUM.. for starters!

[Annette truth teller08]

uhh....thanks?
